Approvals are the product

Autonomy without a paper trail is just a faster way to make a mess.

The demo everyone wants is an agent that does things. The demo every security team fears is the same video.

So we built the product around the pause. Proposed actions live in the thread, with a reason, a blast radius, and an expiry. Approve, deny, or ignore — ignoring is a deny with a timestamp.

That gives you SOC 2 evidence for free. It also makes Musaid usable in companies that will never let a bot close a GitHub repo unattended. Which is most of them, correctly.
